Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 coats of PC601 Clear Cascade to the inside of the rice bowl.   Allow to dry!
  3. Start by filling the AC220 Tip and Bottle with PC602 White Cascade. Cut a small amount of the tip for the glaze to come out.  Do not cut a lot of the tip off.  This will cause to much glaze to come out of the tip.
  4. Create a free hand w pattern around the top of the bowl with the PC602 White Cascade in step #2 then add a second row of w’s below the first row going in between the first row then place a straight line about 1 inch down from the second row. Allow to dry!   Apply a second coat.   NOTE:  You can create the w’s by using a quarter a 25-cent coin to trace around with a pencil creating the w’s.
  5. Place some SC040 Blue Berry Hill and some SC105 Tic Tac Turquoise on a paper plate (palette).
  6. Using the ½” Sponge on a Stick, apply 2 coats of SC040 Blueberry Hill in the opening of the top row of w’s.
  7. Using the ½” Sponge on a Stick, apply 2 coats of SC105 Tic Tac Turquoise in the opening of the second row of w’s.  Allow to dry!
  8. Using a #4 Soft Fan Brush, apply 2 coats of EL129 Slate to the top side of the bowl over everything that has been applied.  Allow to dry!
  9. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of PC601 Clear Cascade to the inside of the bowl over everything.  Allow to dry!
  10. Using a CB604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 3 coats of FN009 Black to the back of the bowl.   Allow to dry!
